Trader Joe’s Salmon Burgers are in the frozen section and the perfect thing to stash away in the freezer for a quick and easy dinner. Pair them with this easy slaw and a squishy burger bun for a lightening fast dinner!
I love fun freezer finds at Trader Joe’s! I started getting these frozen salmon burgers a few months ago and they are now a regular in our meal rotation. They come pre-portioned and uncooked, with 4 per package. You have several options for cooking directly from frozen but I prefer the oven as you get the the least amount of mess and you don’t have to use any additional oil. I like to pair them with this quick and easy slaw on a burger bun and call it dinner.

The burgers come individually wrapped and portioned in a vacuum sealed wrapper that easily rips open. You will get 4 burgers per box for $5.99.
What do these frozen salmon burgers taste like?
The burgers have a neutral seasoning and you shouldn’t need to add any extra salt to the meat. Noteworthy nutritional information (per burger) includes: 100 calories, 15g protein, 330mg sodium, 20mg cholesterol and 1g of sugar. Not bad! However, there are some additives like yeast extract and carrageenan.
How to make Trader Joe’s salmon burgers
So you have four cooking options for how to make these burgers: stovetop, oven, microwave or grill. I prefer either the stovetop or oven. Stovetop is nice because you get nice golden edges, but then you have to deal with splatter and use oil. I mostly cook these in the oven for this reason.
Just place the frozen burgers on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake in a 400F oven for 9-11 minutes or until a meat thermometer (affiliate link) reads 160F.
What to serve with Trader Joe’s salmon burgers
If you’re looking for something to serve with these salmon burgers from Trader Joe’s, look no further than this super easy, saucy little slaw.
Creamy lemon caper slaw
Ingredients:
- Iceberg lettuce or green cabbage
- Thinly sliced yellow onion
- Mayo
- Lemon juice and zest
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh dill
- Capers (optional)
To make this lemon caper slaw simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set it aside until ready to use. It’s that easy! You can definitely leave out the capers and still have a delicious, flavorful burger topping. I’ve had it both ways and both are great. Capers just add a little extra punch!
Serve salmon burgers on a brioche or gluten-free bun from Trader Joe’s and dinner is served!
